Coach Road Whitehaven will be closed for repairs next week

Coach Road in Whitehaven will be closed for resurfacing and repairs from Monday of next week (23rd January 2017) for approximately four days.

This is likely to cause significant traffic disruption in Whitehaven particularly to those trying to get from the town centre to the Valley Park and Mirehouse areas or vice versa and there may also be knock-on effects on Inkerman Terrace and Low Road. If you have to drive through Whitehaven next week, it would probably be a good idea to allow a little longer for your journey.

A signed diversion route will be in operation and traffic marshals will be on site during working hours to advise and assist with any access requirements. Cumbria Highways told the Whitehaven News that access for pedestrians and dismounted cyclists will be maintained throughout.

Anyone with enquiries about the work should call the Cumbria Highways Hotline on 0300 3032992.
